You probably guessed it, our ’67 Blonde Ale is named for the year in which Governor McCall signed the Beach Bill into law on July 6, 1967. A landmark decision we celebrate every single day.

They embrace a sense of vitality and by day’s end celebrate with a toast to the adventures had and the waves found. With a brilliant straw-yellow color, and a floral, herbaceous aroma, Sunrise Surfer Blonde Ale is a refreshing, tasty treat. A light toasted flavor comes from the Pilsner malt, and combines with bread-like wheat character to give this beer a crisp, lean malt aspect. Finishing smooth and clean, Sunrise Surfer Blonde Ale exhibits wonderful balance and character, ready to sip as evening calls forth the plans of the Sunrise Surfer’s next adventure.

This pilsner is a Seattle Beer Week collaboration with Jon from Full Throttle Bottles. When Jon suggested Italian Disco Pilsner we couldn’t say no, even though we didn’t know what exactly that meant. We decided we wanted to make it light and crushable with floral hops and that’s exactly what you’ll experience with this beer. This pairs well with nice weather, Underberg shots, and Italian disco records as intended.

A Sturdy American Pilsner made from a foundation of All American pilsner malts and spiced with Magnum, Halletau, and Herbrucker hops. Golden in color, vegan but not organic, steadfast but definitely wary of sea lions.

Now grown in the Hood River Valley where it shares much of the same characteristics. It’s a wonderful single variety cider apple that can stand alone and bring all the things we love about true cider apples. Like most of our ciders, we made it bone dry with 0.01% RS (basically no sugar at all left in this cider). Less tart then our standard dry cider with a touch of perceived sweetness on the back end giving it more body to the mouth feel.
